    Did your slime go hard/granular after playing with it for a while?

      Hey, Samantha! We didn't have this problem. Try keeping your slime in an airtight container at room temp to keep it nice and gooey! You could also try adding a little bit of shampoo in the mix to keep it stretchy! Have a great day.

    My slime is way too runny! I'm not sure what is causing it to be like that. Are there different types of PVA thicknesses?

      Hi there Vanessa, The only thing I can think of which may cause this is the contact solution. It is important that it's not just a saline solution. The chemical in contact lens solution is part of the setting process for the PVA which creates the slime-like consistency. Check the ingredients for boric acid to ensure the slime forms successfully. If there is anything else I can assist you with, please don't hesitate to contact me.
